1984 Mercedes-Benz - 500SEC

Description del vehiculo

1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC, finished in black with a Palomino interior. This is a European-market coupe that was sold new in Marseilles, France. Factory equipment includes 14-inch wheels, a self-leveling rear suspension system, a limited-slip differential, headlight wipers, a sunroof, wood interior trim, heated and power-adjustable front seats with orthopedic seatbacks, air conditioning, a Becker Grand Prix cassette player, and cruise control, according to a build sheet pictured in the gallery. The selling dealer reports no modifications.Known as the C126 internally, the SEC was launched for the 1983 model year as the W126's coupe counterpart. While buyers in America were initially asked to settle for the 155-horsepower 380 model, Europeans could order the 500 variant that offered a more powerful engine, and the power disparity helped fuel a lucrative gray market. 500 sedans and coupes finally arrived in America for 1984, and both body styles gained an even bigger V8 for 1986. SEC sales ended after the 1991 model year.Power comes from a 5.0-liter V8, rated at 228 horsepower and 299 lb-ft of torque. Called "M117" internally, it spins the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
